WHAT IS ERRATA?In general, if there's a problem AND you know the answer, make an errata report.

- if there's a rules problem but you don't know the answer, ask in the appropriate Rules Questions subforum. If a non-rules question, it likely belongs in Ask The Writers. Once you have your answer, THEN make an errata report. - if there's a problem that doesn't belong in Rules Questions or Ask The Writers (such as typos, record sheet errors, etc.) just go ahead and post it as errata.

In addition to the normal forum rules, there are a couple of additional rules that all errata reports should follow. Posts that fail to follow these rules will be edited or deleted.

1) NO DISCUSSION IN ERRATA THREADSIf you're not making a report, don't post in an errata thread (only writers, developers, and MUL Team members may ignore this rule). This will speed up errata compiling and help ensure your report is not lost in general chatter.

If you want to discuss a piece of errata, or any other part of the errata process, please use the stickied Errata Discussion Thread.

2) FOLLOW THE ERRATA TEMPLATEAll errata reports should be laid out in the same manner, following the template described in the next post. If posts follow a consistent template I can work much faster, and am far less likely to miss your report.

The first post of each errata thread may have a section labelled "Developer-Level Errata". If so, errata listed there is considered official. As new errata always overrides the old, such corrections take precedence over any previously compiled errata document or webpage.

Thanks for your help!

"Some closets will never contain Narnia, no matter how many times we open the door." - Weirdo, in relation to the power of hope.

* VERSION:The first post in each thread will always list a product's version history, if any; if there is no such note, skip this step.If the product has multiple printings, note which one you're referring to. * LOCATION: Relevant page number(s) and section titles. * THE ERROR: Information on the error, preferably using direct quotes when applicable, and why you think it's an error (if not obvious). * THE CORRECTION: If a BV correction, please enclose or attach your entire BV calculation and how you made it (by hand, SSW, MML, Heavy Metal etc; include version number of any software used).

- If reporting errata resulting from a post by a writer or developer, include a link to that post. - Don't make multiple short posts in a row in a short time period (e.g. five typo report posts in a row). Instead, make one post, and edit any subsequent discoveries into that. - Lastly, do not use emoticons in your reports.

Example:3rd PrintingPage 114, Daishi X example:

The mech carries a LRM 15 with Artemis IV and a SRM 4 without Artemis. Per TechManual, p. 231, "all applicable launchers on the unit must be enhanced in the same fashion" - so the SRM 4 must have Artemis IV to match the LRM launcher.

* indicates Technical Readouts originally published by FASA or FanPro which have been reprinted by Catalyst Game Labs with errata corrections and new cover artwork.

What's the Deal with TROs 3145 and 3150?The "3145 series" marks a break with how TROs were handled in the past.

TRO 3145 Faction PDFs: Eight PDF-only releases, organized by faction (e.g. TRO 3145 Free Worlds League). These PDFs have all units in the series for that faction and only that faction. In a change from the old way, these PDFs also contain all record sheets for those units, including any variants mentioned in the text. These were the first releases in the 3145 series.TRO 3145: Originally only available in print, but a year later made available as a PDF as well. Released after all the faction PDFs. It's mostly a reprint compilation of select units from each of the faction PDFs (with no changes made to them). There is some new material, however. It has a New Tech, New Upgrades section (NTNU): six pages of single-paragraph entries detailing new variants of units from older TROs that utilize new technologies (same idea as TRO 3085's ONN section). It also has 14 new Quirks not found in StratOps (though some of them debuted in other non-StratOps works and are reprinted here; any such quirks related to mechs were later included in the BattleMech Manual). Lastly, there's the Dark Age Technology Advancement Table, detailing which pieces of equipment changed rules level in 3145 (e.g. the Bloodhound Active Probe is Tournament Legal in 3145). There are no record sheets included in this book.TRO 3150: PDF and Print. Features all units from the 3145 Faction PDFs not already collected in TRO 3145, plus some units from XTR: RotS I & II, ED: Dark Age, and TP: Irian. The new material consists of one all-new unit, new Notable Pilots, new variants for some entries, and another NTNU section at the back (different from the one in TRO 3145). There are no record sheets included in this book.Record Sheets: If you bought all the Faction PDFs, you already have all the record sheets for everything except the NTNU units (you would also be missing the Quirks and Technology Advancement Table from TRO 3145, and the new material from TRO 3150, including the variants that debuted in that book). There are two PDF-only record sheet compilations (RS 3145 Unabridged and RS 3145 NTNU). If you buy those two PDFs, you get all the record sheets except for the new variants and NTNU units from TRO 3150 (since 3150 came out after the record sheet collections were made; the record sheets will eventually be updated with this material, but there is no date for this). You also get the Quirks, NTNU descriptions, and Technology Advancement Table from TRO 3145 (all placed in the NTNU record sheet PDF).

How to Get Everything: TRO 3145, TRO 3150, and the two PDF-only record sheet collections (RS 3145 Unabridged and RS 3145 NTNU) will get you everything possible: background text, record sheets, and new rules. Note that this will not get you record sheets for the new variants and NTNU units that debuted in TRO 3150, as these sheets have not been created yet and so cannot be found in any current product. The faction PDFs are only required if you want to save some money by getting just the units for a certain faction; if you want everything, you can skip them.

Inactive Technical ReadoutsThe following out of print TRs have been replaced by newer products:

2750 - Replaced by TR 3050 Upgrade

3025 & 3025 Revised - Replaced by TR 3039

3026 - Replaced by TR 3039

3026 Revised - Replaced by TR 3039 and TR 3075

3050 & 3050 Revised - Replaced by TR 3050 Upgrade

3057 - Replaced by TR 3057 Revised

3058 - Replaced by TR 3058 Upgrade

We are no longer collecting errata for inactive TRs. In addition, for books such as TR 3055 Upgrade or TR 3067 that were originally made by FASA and/or FanPro but were reprinted by Catalyst, the non-Catalyst prints are also considered inactive (because we fixed a ton of errata when they were reprinted); errata reports should only be made concerning errors found in the Catalyst prints of these books.
